member was identified as a perpetrator. these were difficult cases to prove due to the close relationship between the victim and the perpetrator, along with mental issues. determination has remained consistent in domestic violence investigation; there was a time when law enforcement only focused on investigation. chief suhr recognize importance of having advocacy groups located directly in the special victims unit. family can meet with investigators and have access to services in the system as they move forward. with the efforts of kathy black and -- svu has a children's room available which offers a safe environment for children exposed to family violence. child abuse is one of the toughest crimes for investigators. children are among the most vulnerable victims. thankfully there are those like kathy baxter who are constantly fighting for the prevention of child abuse. i believe partnership with outside agencies have allowed us to find justice during this complex investigation. another important component of svu is the -- unit. those members solely on internet cri

and that this perpetrator was in every way the devil incarnate here on earth. he was the agent of the apocalypse. ip am not a preacher, i have an unusual as you know thelogical background, my jewish mother and catholic father. but it is impossible for me to miss the point that were this a faith-based young man, he could not possibly have perpetrated the evil. this was not just crime. this was evil. this was debase. this was something that so utterly beyond the realm of appropriate civilized conduct. this was someone who wanted to inflict pain and in inflicting pain, he chose the most vulnerable victims, six years old and 7 years old in first grade and took that big gun and posing as if he was a ninja car war garbed in black and stuck it to the terrified children and ended their lives and shot them again and again and again. this is it, governor, that no correspondant has seen this kind of carnage here in new england, in a beautiful 300 year old community to which people flock would for its safety and its security and traditions and churches, and its surrenity. he perpetrated an obscenity. if this is no

are not in support of domestic violence, perpetrators that this kind of bullying from the movement, does not continue to occur. and i think that it is really too bad that i have been sort of a scapegoated in this way. so, that being said, it is you know, again, i am glad that the issue of domestic violence is being highlighted in this city. i hope that more resources again, go into educating people maybe, even on on the in the school levels where you have a lot of young people, a lot of people in elementary school age who are being exposed to violence in their homes. and that they learn early too that that is not the type of behavior that they should be engaged in as they get older and as they grow up. because we know frequently that the people who are witnessing this type of situation themselves they say, become perpetrators so i just hope that it leads to more education, in the schools. and it leads to more education from people who are being exposed to violence. and so that they understand how to extracate themselves from the domestic violence situations and that there are more resources given so

into perpetrating, which i dealt with last week, are perpetrators and aggressors, so i wanted to work on that so i'm working with kids and with aspergers and autism and one thing that struck me is we need to be able on the flip side, so i'm now writing to kids when you are the one that has more of a thick skin, whatever you want to call it, how do you interact with kids who are more sensitive? just how do you do that? how do you recognize the signs when you're around somebody that does calibrate and has a different definition and what bothers them and what doesn't and if we can do that and i'm asking autistic kids and asperger's kids and normal kids and what are the things that trigger these things and what can we do and i want you to know what i am doing right now and i am working with boys and i finished the porn section and honest i'm doing all of it and why do girls send naked pictures and this week we're creating concrete strategies and scenarios so they can picture what to do when they are up either way against these dynamics and if we work together this way and really name it. sometimes k

, even from the pope himself. we ask why. why would anyone perpetrate this terror against defenseless children? why would anybody massacre boys and girls who cannot comprehend the depraved crime even as it was being inflicted against them. what sole could disregard for the precious young lives he ended on a sunny december morning in connecticut. so today as we grieve the tiny people who perish by violence during the height of the christmas season and a wonderful town, virtually untouched before friday by the wickedness of the world. and we pledge our support for their families and friends and neighbors who will never be the same memory, incalculable loss. we also seek to find out why and what made this 20-year-old perpetrator the devil's own instrument of the apock apocalypse. we begin with craig's report how panic became relief or misery and despair for the parents of the children of the elementary school in sandy hook. here is craig's report. >> i just heard their gunmen went in and started shooting the administration and then went for the kindergartners. thank god she wasn't there

had to get buzzed in at 9:30 in the morning, and yet this was perpetrated against her school. jason carroll, reporting live just across town from where i am. part of the reason i am where i am, is that the media is getting regular updates at this location, not only from the state police, but also from connecticut's governor dan malloy, who has come at regular intervals to brief us, but also spoken with the families who were given the ultimate terrible news they would not be reuniting with their children. he made another stop at the vigil jason reported on. >> good evening, everyone. monsignor, thank you very much for opening this very beautiful church so that we might in a communal way find solace and one another as a result of the unspeakable having occurred in this community. people's children, brothers, sisters, were taken from them. people's spouses. those teachers and administrators, were taken from us. yet we stand in a church and many of us today, in the coming days, will rely upon that which we have been taught and that which we inherently believe that there is faith for a r

and for america. what do we know about the person who perpetrated the hideous crime? >> reporter: you know, it is so heartbreaking, piers. we are learning he is 20-year-old adam lanza. we know according to our sources that for whatever reason when he came to the school this day, he was wearing what is described to me as black battle fatigues and a military vest. he came armed with three weapons. two of them handguns. one as a glock and another as a sig sauer and a third police found in the vehicle. the two weapons were found on him in the school. the third was found, the bushmaster which is a semi automatic was found in a car outside the school. what led him to this? we don't know. we do know this. police have questioned both his brother and his father. his brother was taken into custody for questioning only. he is not being called a suspect. from his apartment in hoboken, new jersey. we understand the father was also questioned by authorities here in the newtown, connecticut area. the father is divorced from nancy lanza. she is the mother of the two who is a schoolteacher and counted amon

likely taylor the individuals that we know to be perpetrators of gun violence but also keeping in mind the relationship of their families. everyone is connected to a family, and it is the entire

provide comfort in the midst of their morning and lord we pray also for the perpetrators that lord you would provide transformation and redemption that truly solves this problem. father, we pray for the city of a city that is blessed with so much but still has great problems. lend your arm in support of these efforts. unite us, encourage us, strengthen us, protect us. go with us lord. bless this effort and this city as it under takes it and it's under your great name that we pray. amen. >> thank you all for coming >> 7 and a half million renovation is part of the clean and safe neighbor's park fund which was on the ballot four years ago and look at how that public investment has transformed our neighborhood. >> the playground is unique in that it serves a number of age groups, unlike many of the other properties, it serves small children with the children's play grounds and clubhouses that has basketball courts, it has an outdoor soccer field and so there were a lot of people that came to the table that had their wish list and we did our best to make sure that we kind of divided u

weapon used to perpetrate the school shooting. teachers. do you know what's in your portfolio? [ woman ] dear cat, your hair mixes with pollen and dust. i get congested. but now, with zyrtec-d®, i have the proven allergy relief of zyrtec®, plus a powerful decongestant. zyrtec-d® lets me breath freer, so i can love the air. [ male announcer ] zyrtec-d®. behind the pharmacy counter. no prescription needed. >>> when a private equity company whose soul goal is to get out of the gun business, something has changed. freedom group, ten companies including bushmaster and other ammo accessory makers. bushmaster rifle was used to kill those teachers and children in connecticut. they said, quote, it is apparent that sandy hook tragedy with his a watershed event that has raised the national debate on gun control to an unprecedented level. it is not our role to take positions or attempt to shape our influence the gun control policy debate. there are, however, actions that whoa as a firm can take. in a horrible irony, it turns out that teachers in california are investors in bushmaster. californ

, in fact, indian men. >> perpetrators now there's a gap they can come on our reservation and limited resources to prosecute and they know they will get away with it. that's the issue here. >> to my disbelief, how could you not reauthorize this. i went on and read the column. in her column, what she does is dehumanizes women and makes it a fiscal matter. she calls it feminist pork. this is a drain on the budget. it's interesting to see those are the troops being used. shifting gears and talking also about native american women, another big hole that would be left in the republican version of this legislation is with undocumented women. what tends to happen is if you have a woman undocumented who is married to or is the partner of somebody who is a legal, permanent resident or citizen, they can dangle it in front of them in order to keep it from reporting them. they would roll back the process, which allows them to circumvent it. >> this is critical. >> this is about vulnerable populations. this is about kicking already vulnerable populations when they are down. to answer your earlier

and not constantly talking about the perpetrators here? >> well, everybody wants to know that, and this is the very first thing, and in this situation, also. i saw some of the news reports, and everybody is asking, why, why, why, and they can't understand it and they can't fathom it, and sometimes we know, or they take it to the grave. in case, the individual left nothi nothing. we can speculate and we know he is part of hate groups pshg but we have to focus on why didn't we see it more than why didn't he do it? every time this happens, somebody says, that is the person i thought might do this, but they never came forward. that is the culture we are in to know the answers to explain it away, and just from this incidental loan from what i h-- alone, we want answers, but the immediacy should be with the victims and the victims' families and the officers, and explaining what we can. i think that they are doing a fantastic job to explaining that the minute we get something we will give it to you. anything that i have seen i take from the law enforcement perspective as gospel from that lieutenant from t

perpetrated in the most horrific way. do we know anything else about the family dynamics? >> we have been learning more about -- a bit about the brother, adam, the shooter, in this case. but we are still trying to get that confirmed with additional sources before we put that out officially. but we do know, for example, that the father of both of them was divorced from nancy lanza, the schoolteacher, and the boys' mother. >> and did not live at this residence? >> the father did not live at this residence, but in fact he has remarried and does live in this area of newtown, connecticut, as well. so they've been talking to him, obviously, as well, to try to find out what information, if any, he may have, what clues, if any, he might possibly have that led to this. >> it's remarkable the amount of information that keeps pours in. i'm going to let you work your sources. i know you've been on the phone hour after hour. susan candiotti doing a terrific job. i want to take you to jason carroll, my colleague, not far away from us in newtown, connecticut, in front of saint rose of lima church. set t

to write it from the point of the perpetrator, and that he had to plan the perfect crime. my little milty went to the palace of legion of honor and explained to them he was doing research how you protect this great art, and then he wrote his story from the point of view of stealing my favorite painting, so that he could bring it to me, and when i brought it to the palace of legion of honor they said "pretty damn good" and he fooled them and you know he used his family as a background why he was doing this, and it was very important, and he wrote a hum dinger of a perfect crime. most other people were writing about stealing something out of kitchen, and they were also writing about how to cheat on a test, but milton was stealing me my favorite painting. what a kid. i mentioned shakespeare when i started this little reflection on the life of my milton marks, our milton marks. since i was citizen teacher let me take you back to the classroom and shakespeare and the words said about the noblest roman of them all, brutus. his life was gentle and the elements subtle mixed in him that nature

do have to consider meeting youth where they are act. we are talking about perpetrators of violence or what not or system involved or involved in gangs, we have to meet them where they are at. pain and hurt produces more hurt, right? what is fundamental it is addressing back pain -- addressing that pain. not looking at folks in a punitive way and saying, this guy is notorious, we have to lock him up. that person is hurting. he might have been abused, you know. first and foremost, we need to meet that individual's needs. i am pursuing a master's in social work. i have that lens. we need to heal our communities and take those answers upon ourselves. everybody has already -- we sure this in perspective, but definitely, we need to create community anchored solutions. that involves a discourse with policy makers. as people of color, we need to be accountable and to be positive role models. greek them on the bus and not be scared of art -- greet them on the bus and not be scared of our own people. we stereotype ourselves and we are price ourselves. we need to be accountable and we need to

that. as we know it is not just the perpetrators who continue to have power and control over the victims but there are families and relatives out there for the defendants who also apply a lot of pressure on the victims. i think that one of the most crucial points in prosecuting dv cases is when the victim begins to turn away from us, the prosecution. i honestly believe t we need more resources because at that point in time it is not a matter of us letting these cases go. i think we have defined other means to be able to pursue these cases even when victims don't always cooperate or even when they don't come in to testify i have to believe that it is not always because they are not telling the truth. i think a lot of it has to do with recanting, minimizing, and quite honestly they are very dependent on their abusers. there are a lot of different situations. it is incumbent upon us to find out what those reasons are before we let these cases go. so we need more resources in order to be able to find other types of evidence that might be out there in order for us

tomorrow's victims and perpetrators and how important it is for your kids to be in school, so it's the full community approach and the holistic approach as it were. >> okay great. did you want to add something? >> on the spot but i was proud of the three da's and they covered it and we worked over the years with the heart power that jeff rosen referred to. when moving into the soft power i recognize we're not experts so i look to people like anne campbell, our superintendent and to cheryl there to educate us and i said this morning "i am interested what we can do as a district attorney's office to help , what we can do to help" because we recognize we're not experts. we have an expertise in certain areas dealing with consequences and accountability and we're good with that. when it comes to soft power with great collaboration we can have a support role and provide to our educators and experts what exactly can we do to assist you getting to the end that everybody talked about today and that's the only different take we would have. >> great thank you. [applause] i would like to say we need

and the sheriff's department and having services available to the victims and survivors of the perpetrators they're working with and the transition of sunni and happy to bring this to you so the victims can receive services in all three of our disciplines and restorative justice through the probation department and we are excited about that and we know we have the talent and leadership for that. >> the last one is from the victim's advocate department and they're very much strong supporters in all the work that we do and there was a press conference in the bay view and talking about this and we utilize this for domestic violence and child abuse but there is a section for children that witness community violence so they can access the victim's fund and we haven't gotten the word out enough so we are training our advocates that exist in the seven agencies in the city and experts of domestic violence and community violence from zero to five so we hope to utilize that fund. children are eligible up to $5,000 of therapy and counseling and we hope to tell you next year how many children access that f

gallagher hasn't been able to right down a perpetrate address for the past ten years, much less a point of contact. >> they think there is something wrong with you the instant you say i don't have a cell phone or another number you can use. the world has changed from the point where having a communication device on you at all times is an imperative. >> reporter: john says it has held him and other homeless back from getting the right medication, doctor's appointments, housing and getting a day's work. >> go out and pound the pavement. people in offices at work don't want to you pound the pavement or knock on their door. they want you to call them and let you call them back. >> reporter: if the plan goes through, the homeless could apply for these virtual virtually free phones from insurance wireless. the program also pays the way for the new shelter initiative. >> they can sent texts to people. we can tell them you need to go to this or that shelter, come up, your application has come up for housing. it will change things tremendously. >> reporter: it also gives those on the stree
